What do you like best about the leadership team?
Leading via inclusive and Transparent behaviour
some of the managers listen and help you on your development career. Other managers are not very engaged in development. They focus only on the projects.
Many want to help you grow and feel like they care about employees
They are positive, encouraging, and seem transparent.
Very flexible. Open lines of communication. Willing to support in difficult situations
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Everything. Like Stop ignoring people just because they do a certain positions.
Being in touch with reality. low pay and even lower morale.
Connecting with employees on DEI issues.
Addressing the interscope probe on earth to find the owner.
scheduling and communication with cast members
What is the best part about your compensation package?
time off and access to discounts and travel
Review from Engineering Dept
I don't have any package compensation
Free park entry is available.
I think the retirement, health and parks/discounts are very good
Free passes to the parks
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Long hours, difficult customer interactions.
Knowing women and POC were hired, paid, and promoted equitably.
I'm confined to pay bands that are capped at 5% and not offered bonus opportunities. My work is of greater safety risk to myself, I make more impactful decisions for people, but I'm compensated the same as those that don't have the same risk or consequences.
Hard to say, needs to think about
Disney continues to pay under market.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We have many diverse people that collaborate.
we support each other without leadership
Willing to share information and to help. Open to ideas and suggestions
we all work together as a team member
Collaborative and welcoming work environment.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
My coworkers need to learn that they need to listen to the rules and that these rules are not suggestions. They also need to stop hiding in the break rooms when they should be doing their jobs.
Better collaboration and less politics.
Fairness starting at the executive level.
Being more compassionate and welcoming.
My co-workers should understand that we are adults and personal feelings and personal politics should not be present in the work place. We should be here to work, not always attack each other.
Review from Communications Dept

Diversity and inclusion play a big part.
We help each other out
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Managers need to be more focused on their direct reports as valuable people.
Be more progressive and innovative.
Compensation on earth shouldn't have been plagiarized.
Realizing the cast is trying everyday
The boss needs to listen more 2 the people because they never communicate anything with us
Review from Product Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
The interviewer asked good questions
They were very timely and communicative
I like it I had a phone interview when I got hired
Appeared open kind honest but they are in sales
Review from Sales Dept
They focused on personality and how they think you would perform in the role rather than years of experience
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
More realistic information about roles. Especially for external candidates
Improve Speed, establish consistent interview framework,
Review from IT Dept
Improve bias in the system.
Stop promoting bad leaders and actually try to get magical leaders
I think they need to do more tests on the person itself because i have had coworkers that are useless and that makes the work procres a lot harder
Review from Product Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Disney Heritage and our legacy is very important to me
Managers and executives often recognize our work
working with the Disney company
Meeting people from around the world.
Knowing I am doing something that makes people happy
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Leadership only cares about stock prices. As the stock drops the leadership gets worse. Great people leaving everyday
Review from Sales Dept
Bad press on CEO and missteps with leadership team.
CEO bad wrap. Cost cutting everywhere. Money over magic
I get cursed at, spat on, and my life threatened for trying to enforce policies. My leadership does the best they can with the paltry tools they've been given. We are overworked and understaffed, and this is coming from the team that brings in the most money for our line of business in our park.
Review from Sales Dept
It seems more and more that the individual is less and less valued unless every task they do is contributing to higher numbers and higher financial gain.
